Puttering

It's the long Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada and I've been puttering away at finishing up some projects that have been sitting far too long.  I started these two preemie quilts at a retreat back in April.  Figured it was high time I finished them off!

The strip and slice was pieced and needed quilting.  I decided on some organic wavy lines filled in with bouncing C's.

I like the texture created.

With the second one I was nearly finished the quilting, but after getting home from the retreat, it just sat.  Finished it off - an overly knotty piece of wood, I'd say!  

Then, because I'd been good and finished two projects off - complete with binding and labels, I figured I had earned some play time!  I had made six 4.5" log cabin style blocks for a block lottery at VMQG, but then I was unable to attend the meeting.

They were calling to me!

And since I'm not really good at cleaning up between projects, the scraps and fabrics I had used initially were still out.  I made the blocks larger, and played with some layouts, then started filling in the spaces.

The top is finished, my quilting is planned - maybe tomorrow before heading off for turkey!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy quilting!
